Six Players, 14 Checks, One Bet

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Aaron Massey opened in middle position for 475, Nachman Berlin called, the cutoff called, the button called and both blinds called. Six players went to a flop of {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {A-Clubs} and action checked all the way around. The turn produced the {J-Clubs} and all six players checked again. The river was the {9-Diamonds}, the blinds checked and Massey tossed out 1,450. All the other players folded and Massey picked up a pot that no one else wanted.

Tryba Trending Downard

Chris Tryba
Chris Tryba

After a player limped in late position, Chris Tryba raised on the button. A player in the blinds called, the limper called, and the flop fell {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The action checked to Tryba who continued for 750, the player in the blinds called, and the original limper raised to 2,375. Tryba tank-called, and the player in the blinds begrudgingly folded.

The turn was the {q-Clubs}, and Tryba's opponent led for 3,200. Tryba folded, and his opponent showed the {9-Clubs}. Tryba shrugged and proceeded to check his phone.

Update On Incoherent Player

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

We have been informed that the player that was assisted out of the tournament room was taken up to his hotel room by medical staff. The player was unable to communicate with staff and was severely out of it.

He is resting for now and his stack is in play and being blinded off. We are still unsure of the cause of his problem.

Pilgrim Slipping

Dwyte Pilgrim
Dwyte Pilgrim

After an open to 550 and a call, Dwyte Pilgrim three-bet to 2,100 from the small blind. The original raiser and the caller came along, and the dealer fanned {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Pilgrim led for 4,100, the original raiser moved all in for 8,500, and the third player released.

Pilgrim's hand also hit the muck, and he's now sitting with less than the starting stack.

Bazeley Free to Watch Basketball

Jacob Bazeley is no longer with us in the tournament. He was a late registrant and was excited to secure a seat with a good view of the TV.

Just a few minutes ago he tweeted: "Well that was fun." His empty chair leads us to believe he is watching a game at one of the many bars here at Caesar's Palace.

Quads vs. Gutter Ball

When we reached the table, Richard Lombardi had just moved all in with the board reading {5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}. His opponent was in the tank.

"Ok," he sighed. "Here's a donation. If you have a set of twos or fives, then you win." He called.

Lombardi turned over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for quad queens.

"Queens are no good though," the player joked, turning over {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

The river was a meaningless nine, and Lombardi doubled to 50,000 chips.
